Two days ago was the three year anniversary of me leaving my abusive ex. Today is his birthday. Last night I had the worst meltdown I’ve had in a long while. Why can I not just get AWAY from him having any impact on my life

Because you are human and humans have emotion and carry grief differently. You are not broken, you are normal. You also are the love that you give, not the love you receive. You are more than your abusive ex.

Adding onto that, your body is responding this way now because you’re safe to. Sometimes our bodies just decide to let everything out once it knows we can, and that ok. It’s not a sign of weakness or an inability to move on, it’s the strength you held onto for so long being allowed to rest. You’ll get through this🫂

This! Focus on regulating your nervous system and taking things one day at a time. You’re safe now!
